How far can this go?

It is-- unfortunately-- not hard to believe, but ESPN has moved an Asian football announcer off the Virgnia v. William & Mary game because his name is Robert Lee.

I'm sure they are having their regrets as ESPN Twitter and News Media ridicule has been non-stop 24/7.

Has anybody seen a photo of this Robert Lee? As a San Franciscan, I'd think it would be a hoot if his family could also be spelled "Li". IOW, he's of Chinese descent.

Yeah. Tigernet has a picture of him in one of the threads but I doubt I could find it.

So ESPN moves this guy off of the game because of political correctness. Little wonder people do not trust the media.

I am confident in the media. I am confident that they are a bunch of Communists.

You know if he is Robert Lee of the Southern Chinese would that make a difference?... I'm only saying... Brother Glen

Julius Caesar, Act III Scene 3:

Third Citizen Your name, sir, truly.

CINNA THE POET Truly, my name is Cinna.

First Citizen Tear him to pieces; he's a conspirator.

CINNA THE POET I am Cinna the poet, I am Cinna the poet.

Fourth Citizen Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses.

CINNA THE POET I am not Cinna the conspirator.

Fourth Citizen It is no matter, his name's Cinna; pluck but his
name out of his heart, and turn him going.
